Online therapy for creatives who are overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed

Hi, I’m Dr. Bobbi Ballard, clinical psychologist.

I work with creative professionals and artists struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout.

When I first start working with you in online therapy, you are probably feeling burnt out and overwhelmed.

  • You are talented, creative and perceptive, but you are running low on energy and motivation. 
  • You’re tired of fighting a chronic battle against anxiety and depression, and feeling depleted in the process. 
  • Also, it’s wearing you out to work so hard to carve out a place for yourself, in a world that doesn’t always reward individuality. 
  • Your confidence has taken a nosedive, and the more worn down you get, the less inspiration you feel. 
  • You aren’t as healthy as you want to be, and in addition, your relationships have become strained. 
  • Old patterns aren’t working anymore, but you can’t figure out how to break out of them.

Therapy can help you work through blocks, as well as heal past wounds. Also, you’ll learn new ways to cope, and how to set boundaries that work for you. If you deal with chronic stress and low mood, you can learn how to manage it, not the other way around. 

Imagine that you feel more at ease with your life and your feelings.

  • As your physical and emotional health improve, your career and relationships get better, too.  
  • You feel more comfortable in your own skin, and more confident showing up for yourself. 
  • Communication gets better in your relationships, and as a result, you enjoy the closeness that’s been missing for a while. 
  • You’ve got more energy, for your work and your free time. (Game nights are back!)  
  • You’re living a creative and joyful life, without being overwhelmed or drained by your emotions.  

From the comfort of your own home or office, we can meet in online therapy and start you on this path toward health and fulfillment.

FAQ’s

My clients are adults and adolescents (age 13+). I specialize in working with artists and creative professionals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or burnout. However, this specialty area accounts for about half of my caseload, because people from all walks of life deal with anxiety and depression. If you are dealing with a specific fear, I also specialize in helping people with specific phobias. 
Online counseling (teletherapy) works best for those with mild to moderate symptoms. As a result, if you are feeling actively suicidal or in crisis, I recommend that you pursue therapy with someone who provides in-person services.
The initial session is the time for you to start to share your story, and to talk about your goals and what you would like to change. Also, I ask questions about your background and history, and what issues are bringing you to therapy. Another important aspect of the first session is deciding if we are a good fit. For example, do I seem like someone you feel comfortable with?
We will talk about what your goals for therapy are, and I will begin to figure out how to help you get there.
The first session is 60 minutes, and after that, appointments are 45 minutes.
My practice is all online. Therapy sessions are conducted via a secure and easy-to-use telehealth platform, similar to Zoom or Skype. If needed, established clients can hold some sessions by telephone.
I am a licensed psychologist in Georgia and North Carolina. Also, I can provide online therapy to all U.S. states that are part of PSYPACT. As a result, I can work with clients who reside in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin.
